Childhood-onset Takayasu arteritis presenting as pyoderma gangrenosum-like vasculitic ulceration: Three case reports and a literature review.

ABSTRACT

We report a small case series of childhood-onset Takayasu arteritis (c-TA) presenting as pyoderma gangrenosum (PG)-like vasculitic ulceration. The cutaneous vasculitic ulcers in systemic vasculitis are rare and severe, sometimes leading to delayed diagnosis and treatment. We summarised the clinical features and highlighted the warning signs of c-TA associated with PG-like vasculitic ulceration.
